HELP Card Error!!
This one is a bit desperate.
Just took loads of photos of my week old Granddaughter with my Olympus E500.
Then all of a sudden I get a CARD ERROR message on the camera screen!
I can't view or access the photos on either the camera or the pc!!
Is there anything I can do to retrieve them or are they gone forever??
Anyone???

Only thing that seems to work so far is the CardRecovery prog but to get the lost data you have to pay for the full prog which is £30!!
I just can't cover that right now...............
Trying Zar now peter but it doesnt seem to be doing muc, just a load of dots on a volume analysis thingy............and its taking an age!
Oh well back to the search.............

That's the only reason I ended up buying it, none of the free programmes would do the job! I bought it some time ago, and I think it was about £20 odd then. It depends on how much you value your photos, if you can't find anything else to do the job for free, you might have to cough up! Funnily enough, I had to use it again only last week, worked perfectly. I only ever use SanDisk now which comes with it's own recovery disc but have never tried it.
I seem to remember that ZAR did take a while but it did eventually recover all my lost photos from a defective card. Like abwitt I now use the SanDisk recovery program which I got free when I bought one of their 1Gb memory cards (cost about £10), and it works quite well. Whatever you do don't format the card or try to save any photos to it - but I'm sure you know that. The E500 has two card slots and takes an xD and a CF card. It's a long shot but if all else fails you might try to copy the contents of the defective card to the other one in-camera.
I do hope you manage to get your photos back.
